Dear editor: Hi, this is Rapid Robert again. You know, the old guy with the plaid tam. Unfortunately, this is a little different type of story than what you usually hear from me. Last evening (Aug. 1), as I drove my white GMC truck on the First Nations reserve at […]
Dear Mike: I am writing this letter in exasperation in response to the press release issued from town council at Monday night’s meeting. I am a member of the Fort Frances Volunteer Fire Brigade and we have been sent in circles by the mayor and council of this town. The […]

We, the homeowner/taxpayer, will be doing that. I’ve heard that at least in Fort Frances, they’ve been told […]
Dear editor: In the June 3 edition of the Fort Frances Times, your local MPP, Ken Boshcoff, stated he will find some way to ease cross-border traffic. Well, when the summer visitors come from the south, everyone want’s them and their money. Bully for us. But just what is the […]
Dear Mike: With dismay, I read last Wednesday’s article on modifying the rule curve in order to mitigate flooding on Rainy Lake. It concerns me that, again, the primary focus appears to be protecting the property on the lake itself, with little regard for the impact these actions have on […]
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our little angel. Although his time with us was short it brought a lifetime of memories for all who surrounded him with love. William Angus Guertin, 6 days old of Fort Frances passed away in his parents arms at […]
